Your port number is what you see in listener.ora file, i.e. 1521. To test your host name, run ping command from dos window:

ping main

look at the output. If it chows correct ip address, hostname is correct. I don't remember if windows has hostname command. Try hostname from dos window. If such command exists, it will return your hostname.

By the way, are you sure listener is running?
